Broncos linebacker Von Miller was dominant in November, and earned AFC defensive player of the month honors for it.

Miller helped the Broncos to an undefeated month with his 8.0 sacks and three forced fumbles.

He was consistent throughout the month, with at least one sack in every game, along with 10 tackles for loss in November.

He’s the second Bronco to win monthly honors, after quarterback Peyton Manning took them on the offensive side in October.

That kind of performance on both sides of the ball is why the Broncos are legitimate AFC contenders coming down the stretch.
